England's Oldest Commercial Vineyard & Home to Award-Winning English Sparkling Wine.

​

Established in 1952 by Major-General Sir Guy Salisbury-Jones, Hambledon Vineyard is England's Oldest Commercial Vineyard.

RÍAS BAIXAS: THE HEARTLAND OF ALBARIÑO

 

D.O. Rías Baixas is widely acknowledged as the heartland of Spain’s most fashionable white grape variety, Albariño.   95% of all grapes grown here are Albariño grapes. Nestled up in the remote north west corner of Spain by the side of the Atlantic Ocean, Rías Baixas is also famous for its lush green landscape, steep terraced vineyards and granite ‘pergolas’, not to mention the cornucopia of fresh fish hauled daily out of the ocean just a stone’s throw away! 

 

This is an area which is a far cry from the Spain of popular imagination, and as such remains a relatively undiscovered region to all but a few “in the know”.  Yet the wine emanating from this delightful corner of Spain is certainly gaining recognition worldwide for its refreshing peach, elderflower, citrus and tropical fruit aromas and silken palate.  Come along and try for yourself!

Started in 2001, Ultracomida is a family run business that specialised in importing Spanish Food and Wine. Located in Wales we represent a diverse range of wineries on a mission to highlight those smaller Bodegas and winemakers who are passionate about their work and the land they use. 

 

Our range is dominated by family run estates that truly showcase the true taste of the grapes and the land in which they are cultivated. From the likes of well known D.Os like Rioja and Cava to the lesser discovered areas like Jumilla and Toro and traditional giants like Ribera Del Duero and Montilla Moriles we believe we can truly showcase everything Spain has to offer. 

1276 Wines Logo (1).png

Based in the rolling Herefordshire hillsides, on sunny, south facing slopes, 1276 Wines is a young, innovative winery with a surprisingly long history. Grape growing and winemaking in the area date back to the late 13th century, when the first record of vineyard plantings appears in the year 1276 . Our name recalls these ancient origins, while our sustainable viticulture and pioneering, low-intervention winemaking look to the bright future of English wine.

​

We embrace a ‘vine to bottle’ philosophy, with every stage in the creation of our award-winning wines taking place at our vineyard and winery on the fringes of Ledbury. From planting the vines to labelling the bottles, every detail is meticulously handled by our viticulturist Scott Patterson, our winemaker Laurence Cocking and their talented teams, ensuring that every last drop of 1276 wine demonstrates the very best that this emerging wine region has to offer.

Stellenzicht.png

Nestled on the Foothills of the Helderberg Mountain in Stellenbosch, Stellenzicht is a premium South Africa wine estate dedicated to crafting wines that reflect the unique character of our origin. Benefitting from diverse soils, elevated vineyards and cool ocean influences, the farm produces elegant terroir-driven wines.


Dragonflies inspire the Stellenzicht philosophy of balance. Their presence signals a healthy ecosystem, much like our wines reflect the vitality of our vineyards.


At Stellenzicht, sustainability, balance, and respect for nature guide everything we do. From regenerative farming to thoughtful winemaking, we are committed to nurturing the land, supporting biodiversity, and crafting wines that truly express our terroir.


The first owner of Stellenzicht in 1692 established a legacy of more than 300 years of winemaking excellence. Since its revival in 2017, Stellenzicht has honoured that legacy by allowing its ancient soils to produce distinct, terroir-driven wines that appeal to both traditional wine lovers and those who prefer a New World style.

Chateau Grand Bari.png

Chateau GRAND BARI is a modern Slovak winery rooted in the centuries-old heritage of Tokaj, the world’s first protected wine appellation. Based in Veľká Bara, the estate takes its name from the village where its vineyards are located and where winemaking traditions reach back to the 13th century.

​

Today, Chateau GRAND BARI cultivates nearly 100 hectares of volcanic vineyards and works exclusively with grapes from its own land. This control from vineyard to bottle allows the winery to preserve the authentic character of the terroir while creating elegant, distinctive wines with a clear sense of origin.

​

Blending traditional Tokaj methods with a contemporary approach, Chateau GRAND BARI is shaping a confident new image for Slovak Tokaj. Its ambition is to honour the region’s history while introducing its unique potential to a new generation of wine lovers at home and abroad, bringing the Taste of Kings into the modern world today.

portman-vintners-logo.png

We believe wine should be about pleasure, not pretence. At Portman Vintners, our mission is simple: to make buying and enjoying wine easier, friendlier, and more rewarding wherever you are on your wine journey.

​

Portman Vintners was founded by Richard, a lifelong wine enthusiast with professional training and a genuine passion for helping people enjoy good wine. After years of sharing recommendations with friends and family, he realised there was a gap between intimidating high-end sellers and impersonal supermarket shelves.

​

That’s why he started his wine business in the 1990’s eventually creating Portman Vintners: a place where every bottle is personally tasted and approved, and where knowledge is shared in plain English. Importing 14 wineries from South Africa, sourced after extensive travels and tastings to find small production unique wineries sharing Richard’s passion and desire to bring great wines and their stories to the UK.

​

Here, you’ll find quality wines at fair prices, with a friendly approach that takes the guesswork out of choosing. Personally curated cases or friendly advice is always available when you need it.

Domaine des Jeanne logo.jpg

Based in the heart of Provence's Luberon valley, Domaine des Jeanne is a small artisanal wine producer committed to a natural approach to viticulture and winemaking. The estate benefits from rich limestone soils and year-round Mediterranean sunshine, with vineyards positioned between mountains and sea.

​

The team works with three carefully selected grape varieties - Grenache, Syrah, and Clairette - harvested early each morning to preserve maximum freshness. This attention to detail defines every stage of production, from soil to bottle.

​

The collection includes refreshingly crisp rosés with subtle complexity, elegant whites, and distinctive reds including their celebrated Légende limited-edition. Each wine reflects the character of the Luberon: sophisticated and authentic. Visit the vineyard to experience it first hand, or discover their collection at the Oxford Wine Festival.

Bouchons & Co was created in 2025 by French/British couple Jonathan and Zoë after we moved from the South of France to the UK and quickly realised we missed drinking proper, authentic wine at fair prices. Back home wine wasn’t a luxury statement, it was part of our everyday life, and we couldn’t find that same feeling here.

​

With our links and contacts in France, we started working directly with small, family-run vineyards, bringing their wines over to the UK without the usual mark-ups or corporate layers. What began as a simple idea to fix what we were missing has grown into something much bigger. Most of our wines are organic, and we care about keeping things as natural and honest as the people who make them.

​

Along the way we kept discovering new producers and new wines we genuinely loved. That’s still what drives Bouchons & Co today — honest wine, fair prices, and real people behind every bottle.

​

It’s personal, still evolving, and we’re only just getting started.

Our wines are best exemplified by the Babylonstoren logo, which consists of the pipe (representing the farmer), the flower (representing the garden) and the bird (representing nature). It is a combination of the very essence of Babylonstoren – keeping things simple and as true to the earth as possible. “It is this that we strive to achieve in our wine,” says Charl Coetzee. “Truth to the area we are situated in on the slopes of Simonsberg, and simplicity by making elegant and balanced wines as natural as possible.”

No subscription, no complicated wine jargon and no endless catalogue. Just thoughtfully selected wines, straightforward ordering and the pleasure of discovering something genuinely worth drinking.

At Flint, our approach balances on the razor edge of a freedom to create, focus, a respect for tradition, an unbridled curiosity to innovate and a dogged tenacity which results in the most exciting English wines.

Ben Witchell established Flint from the ground up after committing to the life of a winemaker in 2009. From pinpointing a beautiful vineyard plot in one of the UK's driest and sunniest spots to, slowly but surely, creating from nothing what is now one of the most innovative wineries in the
country. It doesn't stop there: continual evolution of techniques, melding innovation with tradition, developing novel wines that challenge the narrative. Flint is a place that doesn't sit still.

At Popina by Lynrace, Ancient Rome meets contemporary flavours in the heart of Oxford’s historic Jericho district. 

​

Popina by Lynrace is a wine, cheese and charcuterie bar inspired by the popinae of Ancient Rome, which served wine and simple food to slaves, freedmen, foreigners, and those of the ‘lower classes’. 

​

Walking down Walton Street today, it’s easy to forget that this was once a rough-and-tumble district that surged in the late 18th century around the Oxford Canal and provided the workforce for the Oxford University Press. Popina evokes this popular history.

 

Expect shelves of experimental and low-intervention bottles, alongside excellent expressions of classic styles, and proper, artisanal Italian cheese and charcuterie cut to order. 

​

Enjoy classic cocktails at our sister venue Lynrace Spirit just opposite, specialising in absinthe, rare and esoteric spirits and many a forgotten classic. 

Founded in 1997 by Michael Palij MW, Winetraders specialises in small family estates, with a particular emphasis on Italy and Spain. 

 

We are pioneers for the hidden: the quiet achievers who dream big and deserve a bigger helping hand. We introduced Timorasso, Nero Buono, and Greco di Tufo to the UK market, proving that small can also be mighty. 

 

You can find our wines online at www.winetradersshop.com or at many independent wine shops. Whether cult favourites with a sprinkle of stardust, or polished highflyers, our estates always embrace the independent spirit.
